Hey there! So, Samsung’s Galaxy S10 is pretty awesome, right? I mean, it’s one of the best smartphones out there with a bunch of high-tech features. But here’s the thing – did you know it has a super cool “Private Mode” that lets you hide stuff from prying eyes? Yeah, it’s true! And the best part is, even if you lend your phone to someone, they won’t be able to access the stuff you’ve hidden without a password. Pretty neat, huh? Let me show you how to set up Private Mode on your S10.

What Can You Hide?

With Private Mode on your Galaxy S10, you can hide different types of files. And get this – you can even hide entire folders with any type of file using the “Secure Folder” feature. So, what can you hide? Well, check it out:

1. Image gallery
2. Music
3. My Files
4. Video
5. Voice recordings

Now, here’s the cool part: when you set your phone to “Private Mode,” you’ll see a little icon on the notification bar telling you it’s turned on. And the only way someone can access your hidden files is by inputting the right password, pattern, or PIN number. Talk about ultra-security!

Turning Private Mode on and Off

Enabling and disabling Private Mode on your Galaxy S10 is a piece of cake. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Swipe up on your home screen to open “Apps”.
2. Select “Settings”, then “Lock screen and security”.
3. Tap on “Private Mode” and turn it on.
4. Choose your preferred type of security – Pattern, PIN, or Password.
5. Set up the security protection you want and voila! Your phone is now in “Private mode”.

Hiding Your Files

Alright, now that your S10 is in private mode, it’s time to hide those files. Here’s how:

1. Swipe up from your home screen and open “Apps”.
2. Select the app you want to hide content from.
3. Pick all the images, videos, recordings, or other files that you want to hide.
4. Now, tap on the three vertical dots in the top-right corner and choose “Move to Private”. But hey, remember, you’ll only see this option if you turned “Private Mode” on before.
5. Boom! All the files you selected will be moved to a new folder called “Private”. Oh, and each file will have a cute little padlock icon to show it’s locked.
6. Finally, when you’re ready, turn off “Private Mode” and those files will magically become invisible to anyone using your phone.

Viewing Hidden Content

So, how do you access those hidden files? Well, it’s easy peasy. But first, you gotta turn on “Private Mode”. You can do it in two ways:

1. Swipe from your home screen and select “Private Mode”. Or if you prefer, go to “Settings”, then “Private Mode”, and turn it on there.
2. Type in your pattern, password, or PIN code to activate “Private Mode”.
3. Once activated, the “Private Mode” icon will appear in your notifications bar.
4. Now, you can browse through your hidden files to your heart’s content.

Secure Folder Feature

Private Mode is great for hiding individual files. But here’s the thing – it can’t hide entire folders all at once. If that’s what you need, you’ll have to use the built-in Secure Folder feature. It’s super handy. Here’s how to use it:

1. First, open the “Settings” app on your device.
2. Next, select “Lock screen and security.”
3. Choose “Secure Folder” and sign in to your Samsung account.
4. Enter your details and tap “SIGN IN.” If you don’t have an account, create one first.
5. Select the security method you prefer.
6. You’ll now see the “Secure Folder” feature on your home screen.

If you want to keep the “Secure Folder” feature hidden on your home screen, just follow these steps:

1. Repeat the first three steps.
2. Select “Hide Secure Folder.”
3. Click “OK.”

The “Secure Folder” will disappear from your apps and home screen, but you can still access it anytime. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Repeat the first three steps again.
2. Select the “Secure Folder” icon at the bottom of the screen and enter your security password, PIN, or pattern.
3. The folder will become visible once again.

Keep Your Personal Data Safe and Secure

You can learn a lot about someone by going through their phone. If you lend your phone to others, it’s important to hide your private photos, videos, recordings, and more using features like “Private Mode” or the “Secure Folder.” Choose the files you want to keep hidden and protect them from prying eyes.
